Grades 2 and Up

No-Glamour Sentence Structure helps students learn how to use parts of speech in 15 sentence structures. This systematic, picture-based program uses a meta-cognitive approach that appeals to visual learners. The format breaks sentence structures into steps students can understand, making the development of more complex sentence structures achievable.

Each unit begins with a suggested list of sentences and a meta-cognitive modeling example. The student examines the step-by-step illustrations, and the metacognitive prompts help him/her describe each picture and write the corresponding words and phrases. Students learn to think about each element in a sentence and systematically construct increasingly complex sentences. The program progresses from simple to complex sentence structures and negative forms. 272 pages (8 ½" x 11") .
